V2, DON, stated, It is the company's expectation to get residents off inappropriate antibiotics. We try to notify the doctors and educate them, but we cannot write the orders. The Facility's Antibiotic Stewardship Protocol, undated, documents, The World Health Organization has reported that antibiotic resistance is one of the major threats to human health, especially because some bacteria have developed resistance to all known classes of antibiotics. According to the CDC (Centers for Disease Control), improving the use of antibiotics in healthcare to protect patients and reduce the threat of antibiotic resistance is a national priority. Diseases caused by these bacteria are increasing in long-term facilities and contributing to higher rates of morbidity and mortality. It is the policy of this facility to implement an Antibiotic Stewardship Program (ASP) which will promote appropriate use of antibiotics while optimizing the treatment of infections, at the same time reducing the possible adverse events associated with antibiotic use. Leadership: A written statement of leadership support to improve antibiotic use is in place. (This support is also present at the corporate level as needed). The Medical Director will assist in communicating the facility's expectations for antibiotic use to prescribing clinicians as needed. The antibiotic stewardship review is a part of the Infection Prevention and Control Program in this facility and is overseen by the Infection Prevention and Control Committee. The Medical Director, Director of Nursing, Infection Preventionist and the consultant pharmacist are all considered leads for antibiotic stewardship activities. As a team they will: Review infections and monitor antibiotic usage patterns on a regular basis; Obtain and review antibiograms from admitting hospitals when available for trends of resistance. Facility optimizes the use of diagnostic testing following physician's orders. The Infection Preventionist will be responsible for infection surveillance and MDRO (multi-drug resistant organism) tracking. The Infection Preventionist will collect and review data such as: McGeer Criteria for positive signs of infection; Antibiotic used and route of administration; Whether appropriate tests such as cultures were obtained before ordering antibiotic; Whether the antibiotic was correct based on the sensitivity report; Whether the antibiotic was changed during the course of treatment. 145286 Page 4 of 4
